Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The eastern U.S. was so cloudless last week due to a massive high pressure system that you could actually see fall colors from space. (lemmy.world)

this is how I thought longitude and latitude worked when I was little. The boat captains would just go over it like a bump on the road

I wish the world worked the way we thought it did as kids. It would be so much more interesting.
